Lawyer’s Traffic Ticket Guide for Indian Lake Town Court

How to Fight a Speeding Ticket in Indian Lake Town

The Town of Indian Lake is on the eastern border of Hamilton County, along the Hudson River, and lies within the Adirondack Park. The Indian Lake area is known for its moose population, which competes with the 2010 U.S. Census population of 1,352.

Since the area is served by New York State Routes 28 and 30, there are many open stretches of road where many drivers lose sight of their speedometer. Further complicating things is the rolling topography and the constantly changing speed limit. In such cases, it is very easy to be slapped with a hefty speeding ticket.

Court Clerk: The role of the court clerk is to assist the judge with their duties. In addition, the court clerk may also sent letters to litigants, collect fines, and answer day-to-day questions you may have prior to court.

Sign-in: Upon arriving to court, it is very important that you notify the court clerk that you are present for your court case. Failure to notifying the court clerk may result in your case not being called.

Suspension: Please note that a failure to respond to your summons on time can get your license suspended. Driving with a suspended license is a crime; if pulled over, the officer can arrest the driver and impound the car.

Junior License: If you received a speeding ticket and you possess a junior license, you may have to appear in court regardless of your plea. You must be very careful when handling your case because New York State has stringent guidelines for young drivers.
